The i .villon dlaplnya aro right

iral hundred articles.
Among tho Interesting things to

Alaska relict loaned by Mrs. Hutton J
also HevernI urtlclos of handiwork in

Trucy (hut ho gathered during hla
mimdonury services In tho Orient.
The Hchool exhibit in another that
ilusorvea special attention, although
It requlrcn time to really npproolato
this display. Tho work of tho Hchool
children along the lino 6f maps and
nolo booku will compare favorably
with uny nchool In tho entire north
west Had tho fair movomont been
(tartcd earlier In tho year tho nchooln
would have had n bettor opportunity
to liuvo made an exhibit, but tho dis
play had to Ihi hurriedly nocurod

Another pretty feature In that wing
of the pavilion Is tho doll Iioiiho. Thin

Cakes, broad, can nod fruit and
other good thing to eat aro on dis
play on ono table. There should have
been more canned fruit but unfor-jono
tunately It wan loft out of tho prem
ium list and too housewives did not
Inow about bringing it.
The women are entitled to the

The Statu Land Hoard hail before

viow of tho fact, however, that tho
question of cruntliig this reserve will
bu paused upoij by tho peoplo at tho

tho Hoard deems it Inexpedient at
this time to consider such contract.
However, an members of the Stale

Statu to act an guardians and trus-
toon of the school fund mid of nil

without any remuneration whatso
ever, many thousands of acres of
